Had day 1 of medical today, lesson learned, if you are in the process with multiple agencies make sure to let FOH know (i assume everyone is using FOH), had they known when I went for FBI they could have printed duplicates for a lot of the tests and saved me a trip.

According to the TO letter we are supposed to be contacted to schedule medical within 45 days of TO. It will be 45 days since TO for me at the end of this week. Hoping to hear something this week, fingers crossed.

Don't remember exactly but it wasn't very long, maybe a matter of weeks. FIT test itself was only scheduled two days after I was told I was scheduled for one, so they don't give alot of advanced warning, from what I have seen.

So I got my TO March 4. How long did it take for everyone who had a TO to receive the next email with steps about scheduling medical and background information? I’m hitting the 45 day mark on April 18th.

Njw85 in my TO they mentioned using my current BI and I had applied to an announcement last year that was for prior LE. It wasnt open to the entire public. It had various “who may apply” parameters. I believe that is excepted service hiring bc they are using my prior GS position and supposedly using my current clearance. Im not sure excepted service has anything to do with “just having interviews.” Unless Im missing something. I believe its the process as a whole and how they can bring you onboard without having through all the HR/OPM usual steps (full BI which would take a year most likely). Instead they can use current BIs.

I applied March 6th of 2018 under the Recent Grad announcement and interviewed in June. I’m surprised i haven’t gotten another email after submitting the forms I was sent in the TO. That’s good they got back to you in a month but it’s been 43 out of the 45 days they said they will get back to me so who knows.

Same boat.

I received E-QIP and fingerprints the same week. My TO was a week after yours it seems, so hopefully we will both hear back on medical soon.

I'm in the same situation as you two. June RG interview, TO first week of March and no word on medical yet. Pure speculation, but perhaps they are waiting to schedule our stuff until they fill seats for a possible May class, then when that is set up they will start processing us for the July one? Just a thought...

Who knows. I'm thinking the 2017 announcement is priority right now. I'm not worried about medical tbh just because I know I have months to go for my background. I just wish I could get it started because then it'll be out of USMS hands anyway.
